Original Hipster…Morrissey…has canceled tonight’s performance in Richmond Virginia at the National Theater due to health reasons. (Refunds are at the point of purchase).
Here’s what Vulture.com had to say about it:
Morrissey’s health issues forced him to delay a string of concerts and eventually cancel part of his North American tour, but now it sounds a little more serious. Speaking to the Mexican radio station Reactor 105.7, the 53-year-old Smiths front man said his bleeding ulcer, pneumonia, and a throat condition called Barrett’s esophagus kept him hospitalized for five weeks. Now he’s been advised to play it safe and retire. “I have been cautioned to, but it’s difficult for me because it’s very ingrained in me,” he says. He did announce plans to retire in two years back in 2012 …
Those looking for other concerts to attend should check out my Local Calendar page for the latest listings. (I also recommend Pollstar.com for concert info.)
BTW… found this funny picture of Morrissey while surfing the Inter-web…best caption EVER.
It actually may not be correct to call this a ‘video’. On the site, it’s referred to as ‘An interactive film by Chris Milk‘ called The Wilderness Downtown. It uses the song ‘We Used To Wait’ by Arcade Fire as sort of the musical score.
What you do is go to the site http://thewildernessdowntown.com/ and you are asked to type in the address of the house you grew up in as a child. Once loaded the ‘film’ will start. It’s important you don’t click closed any of the windows that ‘pop up’! They are supposed to do that
It’s unlike any music video I’ve seen before because it uses Google Maps for images of the house and neighborhood which you’ve entered. Another outstanding feature is the use of multiple PC ‘windows’ opening and closing to the beat of the song. Very cool!
PS…You’ve seen this clip of Bowie performing with Arcade Fire in NYC’s Radio City a few years back…right? Awesome.
Happy March 1st!
This just in….
